When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States,Grandma Moses should be mentioned,although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself,“I would never sit back in a rocking chair,waiting for someone to help me”.No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State,one of five boys and five girls.At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses,the hired hand of one of her employers They farmed most of their lives,first in Virginia and then in New York State,at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children,of whom five survived;her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣)pictures as a hobby,but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiffto sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time
Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted.Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art,and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930's and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures:careful and lively portrayals(描写)of the country life she had known for so long,with a wonderful sense of color and form."I think really hard till I think of something really pretty,and then I paint it"she said.
14.What can we learn about Moses
A.She stopped painting in her late seventies.
B.She still led an active life when she was old.
C.Her marriage life was not happy.
D.She painted oils as a child.
15.What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing
A.Embroidering. B.Farming. C.Nursing. D.Painting.
16.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage

Running is often tiring and needs a lot of hard work,but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.
But while it's long been believed that endorphins(内啡肽)—chemicals in the body that cause happiness—are behind the so-called "runner's high",a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities,a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids(内源性大麻素)may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
To test this theory,the scientists turned to mice.Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise.After exercising on running wheels,the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins,the mice's behavior didn't seem to change.However,when their endocannabinoids
3
were blocked with a different drug,their runners'high symptoms seemed to fall away.
“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner's high is false.Endorphins are effective pain relievers,but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,"Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifchacker.
Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans,but it's already known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The UK's National Health Service even prescribes(开药 方)exercise to patients who are suffering from depression."Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy,which might put you off being more active.Regular exercise can improve your mood if you have depression,and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate(中等的) depression,"it wrote on its website.
It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout,even if we don't fully understand where it comes from.At least if we're feeling down,we know that all we have to do is to put on our running shoes.
17.What did scientists from German universities recently discover
A.Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
B.The runner's high feeling could be caused by endocannabinoids.
C.Endorphins may contribute to one's high spirits after running.
D.The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one's mood.
18.Why did the scientists give mice drugs in their experiment
A.To find what reduces the runner's high symptoms.
B.To see the specific symptoms of the runner's high.
C.To identify what is responsible for the runner's high.
D.To test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released.
19.What does the underlined word"notion"mean
A.Effect. B.Goal. C.Opinion. D.Question
20.What can we know about regular exercise according to the UK's National Health Service
A.They can help ease depression symptoms.
B.They are the best way to treat depression.
C.They only work for those with serious depression.
D.They can help people completely recover from depression.

Lifelong Learning is Good for You
It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education.Luckily,many educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. 21 The following points are reasons why you should stick to lifelong learning.
22 _In 2015,some researchers found people with a bachelor's degree can earn much more than those just with a high school degree.In 2014,a report said that 50%of jobs would become unnecessary by 2035 due to technological development.New technology changes the nature of work and we need continuous learning and personal growth to adapt ourselves to the changes.
Open-mindedness and curiosity are beneficial to your career.People who enjoy learning are more
4
active at work than those who don't.Now think of the most admirable colleagues you know.Do they tend to be knowledgeable about almost any topic of interest Do they make insightful speeches on the topics they know best 23 Those you admire most are those who seem most devoted to learning and personal growth.
Our ability to learn is a keystone of human motivation.Have you ever sat in a quiet place and finished a great novel Do you remember the feeling of accomplishment when you solve a challenging task Have you managed to conduct difficult experiments or create something new Education may not always have influence on wealth,health or career. 24 There are many reasons why we should continue learning.Lifelong learning isn't just an economic necessity but a physical,emotional,and social one. 25 Once you catch them,you will get one of the most rewarding things in your life.
A.We live in an age full of opportunities for learning.
B.Educational input determines your competitiveness.
C.Educational level influences your work performance.
D.Do you keep on lifelong learning and improving
E.Do they seem open-minded and intellectually energetic
F.But it would obviously contribute to the special qualities of everyone.
G.For example,books,online courses,Moocs,AI and so on are available.

The argument was so 33 that eventually I said in a trembling voice,"I insist on some changes in the design,because I can't bear to see you 34 the reputation of our company.”
The meeting ended with the problem 35 .However,the next day the director of the company came to my office and told me,“I thought twice about the new 36 last night and I had to admit that your plan was more practical.So we'll adopt your plan and thanks for your 37 to persuade others.Without your advice,our company might 38 great losses.”
I was very happy that I had stuck to my opinion instead of following others.Sometimes,people lack the 39 to insist on the right choices.But a small step further can make a big 40_ ·

The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs.Brown.She grew roses and sold them to flower shops in the city.Every year she joined the City Rose Festival.People thought that Mrs.Brown used magic to grow her roses.How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row

at home.However,roses were too expensive for her to start.
One day,Anna visited Mrs.Brown to see her flowers.Mrs.Brown was whispering to her roses when she arrived.“Spying on me again!”Mrs.Brown frowned.
"I only came to see your flowers,Mrs.Brown."Anna took a deep breath.“I wish I could grow beautiful roses and win a prize at the festival like you."
"I have experience passed down from generations."Mrs.Brown laughed."Stick to vegetables, child.Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers."
Mrs.Brown returned to her gardening,ignoring the sad look on Anna's face.Then she pulled up a dried-up rose,and threw it over the fence."A plant in bad condition.Unworthy of my time,"Mrs. Brown mumbled.
Anna smiled,as she had an idea.She bowed farewell to Mrs.Brown and went out the garden gate.
Mrs.Brown was busy minding her prize roses.Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing home.She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage.It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow.Now,she had a chance for the festival.

Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully.She nurtured it every day,watering it just right and making sure that it received plenty of sunlight.She talked to it softly,much like Mrs.Brown did with her roses,hoping her words would encourage it to bloom beautifully.Weeks passed,and Anna's rose began to show signs of improvement.Its leaves grew greener,and a few buds formed at the ends of its stems.
On festival morning,Mrs.Brown passed by and saw the beautiful rose.Mrs.Brown couldn't hide her shock.Anna carried it to the festival,where it stood out among the rows of roses.As the prizes were announced,Anna's flower won the hearts of all.Mrs. Brown's mouth dropped open at the result and came to ask what her secret of planting flowers was.Anna mentioned it was being able to do something she enjoyed and trying her best.Shocked and proud,her mother said excitedly in a whisper "Proud of you and your dream."
